so that mdconfig does not try to load the md kernel module twice, and
cause your machine to panic.

With a recent commit of phk's to md that converts it to geom, he removed
the previous DECLARE_MODULE w/ the name of md, and so the md module was
no longer implementing the md module, only the g_md module.  On my box
that is using mfs, mdconfig would then try to load the md module a
second time causing geom to panic.

Sorry, I should of included some of this information in the commit
message.

I then realized that since md is now a full on geom module, it should
be renamed to geom_md like all the other geom modules...  I still need
to ask cvs@ to repo copy the module Makefiles into modules/geom/md...
